Harrsion Fires Back at Jets Coach Ryan Over Bulletin-Board Material

Former Patriots S Rodney Harrison, quoted on BostonHerald.com responding to Jets head coach Rex Ryan’s latest bulletin-board material: “Of course it (charges up the Patriots). As a player, you’re always going to get motivated by someone running their mouth off or talking smack, I don’t care who it is. It’s bad enough you have to find ways, at times, at practice to get motivated, but now you have someone serve you a fresh can of motivation, right there in a nice big warm plate. … I think the Patriots should be excited about it, because they now have added motivation to go out there and hate the Jets and kick their butts.” Harrison continued: “When he was with Baltimore, our offense used to kick their butts. So it’s not like he’s coming from a team that just wore the Patriots out. We’ve seen his blitzes on his defense, and we’ve seen his trickery, and Tom Brady has tore him apart with Ed Reed, with Ray Lewis and all those guys. So it’s not like this is something new.”
